Man I miss days where I was hyped for Naruto

 

Ikr

this ost takes me back to those early teens lol

 

Naruto was so good, like it was so good. Whole theme and the concept of manga was just amazing. I also loved how MC's best friend turned to the dark side. Like it's so good, shame Kishi never put more work into other characters out of other teams. Naruto still one of best shonens ever made, no bias what so ever, one of the best ever made. Has it's flaws, has it's crap moments, still a great manga.

Part of my childhood and one of the reasons I love anime/manga so much. Being a kid and reading Naruto through years and growing up with him was just a feeling you just can't forget or describe. I was depressed when Naruto ended, it's like a piece of me died. Waiting weekly for a chapter and getting hyped every single time and then reaching the last chapter. I remember I was hit hard when I seen Naruto as Hokage but even to this day I'm sad I never seen the ceremony of him actually being announced as Hokage, that would wreck my innards inside.

Heck, the times on NarutoBase was also mega fun times, being there weekly talking to them buttheads everysingle day and arguing about such crap things.

Growing up sucks.

dude I want it ******* back, those days

 

Fun fact, watching the first episode of Naruto was a transformative experience for me. Back then I was still in elementary school and was pretty much the same age as Naruto. Little known fact, I was also the most hated and abused kid I knew. Being bullied every day (coming back home with literal concussions even), being called a freak and an idiot, always misunderstood and laughed at by everyone in the class, I was literally in the same position as little Naruto. Seeing him sit on that swing alone, seeing him being called a freak and a failure, it all hit right home with me. You can only imagine the impact that moment when Naruto picked himself up and fought back to protect Iruka had on that 12-year-old me.

You don't have to take other people's abuse. You don't have to just fall back into your own corner and be depressed all day. You can fight back. You can protect those few people that acknowledged you. I swear, from the moment I saw that episode, I manned the **** up. Next time someone talked trash, I'd flip them off and fight back. Next time someone tried to bully those close to me, I freakin' went off.

The first episode of Naruto taught me a valuable lesson. It gave me someone to relate to and it gave me strength and confidence. It may seem corny and most people will probably make fun of this (tho they shouldn't because fiction was always there to inspire people as are these shounen tropes in general) but those words "I don't give up and I don't go back on my word" are what I decided to live by and still hold them dear to heart. And that was just the first episode, without going over the fact that I got a lot of close friends in part due to the show, learned more about what anime is (back then I called it Chinese cartoons lol) and even got to bond more with my first crush, the series left a huge mark on my life. I think it's safe to say that had I not seen that first episode back then, things would've been way worse for me.

Despite all the milking and degradation that happened towards its end, Naruto was and still is my favorite show. Fight me, scrubs!

 

Is that fake?
